A Jordanian man accused of the honor killings of two people has taken to the stand to defend himself in a desperate attempt to avoid the death penalty.
Ali Irsan, 60, a Jordanian immigrant, is charged with killing his daughter's husband - Coty Beavers - and her friend Gelareh Bagherzadeh after his daughter converted to Christianity and married a Christian man.
Against the advice of his own attorneys, Irsan took the stand Wednesday declaring he had nothing to do with the deaths of Beavers and Bagherzadeh in Houston in 2012.
Irsan was grilled by prosecutors on his relationship with his wife and his devout faith as they tried to paint him as a radical Muslim who believed his daughter's marriage had brought shame on the family.

If he is allowed to have more than one wife in "his" country then why is he living here!
You can have all the wives you want in this country as long as they all agree to it.
He will get away with it because Texas is slowly becoming a Sharia Law state with more and more Muslims moving into that state.
